'Inside Edition' reveals its next anchor after Deborah Norville's departure
The long-running newsmagazine show has hired ABC News senior national correspondent Eva Pilgrim to succeed Deborah Norville as anchor.
Pilgrim previously served as coanchor of ABC's "GMA3: What You Need to Know." She was tapped for that role in 2023 following the departure of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, who were embroiled in an affair scandal.
"Anchoring 'Inside Edition' is truly a dream job," Pilgrim said in a statement. "I have been an avid viewer and fan of the show for many years. I'm pinching myself that I get to work with this amazing team. It's truly an honor to join a show with such a long, rich history."
Executive producer Charles Lachman also said, "We feel like we won the jackpot to have Eva join our team," adding that she "has solid news chops" and "a warm relatability that resonates with audiences."
Pilgrim's hiring comes more than a month after Norville exited "Inside Edition" after a 30-year run. She said in April that producers wanted her to stay but that there were "things I'd like to do, and places I want to do them, that continuing here don't permit."
Norville was the third anchor of "Inside Edition" following previous stints by David Frost and Bill O'Reilly. She officially signed off in her final episode on May 21.
Swimming in gratitude': Deborah Norville exits 'Inside Edition' after 30 years
"I am literally swimming in gratitude," Norville said in a farewell to viewers. "I've stayed this long because you welcomed me and the stories that we tell. I know 'Inside' has been a companion to many of you, and you've told me that you'll miss our daily visits. I'm going to miss them too."
